Overall Design

Alkaviva

Refined European design. High-end finish works well with a variety of décor / appliances.

TyentTM

New model is their best looking Ionizer. Competitive, high-end quality like AlkaViva.

Do NOT overlook filtration.

Healthy water starts with clean. Ionizers filters are not all created equal. The scary part? Unfiltered contaminants are ionized and made more bio-available.

How Good Are Filters?

Alkaviva

The result of 3 years and $500,000+ in R&D. UltraWater's proprietary impregnated carbon block technology uses 16 medias to target broad based contaminants - as shown in independent test results. Unmatched performance.

TyentTM

Granulated Activated Carbon plus a .01M membrane for microbes only. Filters do not remove broad-based contaminants like heavy metals etc.

Are the Filters Tested?

Alkaviva

(Yes) - EPA / NELAP certified lab tests show a 99.9% reduction of 172 contaminants (including arsenic) across a broad range of contaminants.

TyentTM

(YES) - but with questionable caveats. Done in unrealistic parts per billion and missing tough to remove toxins like arsenic, chromium etc.

Extra External Filters Required?

Alkaviva

Not Needed. Plus if you have a unique situation, AlkaViva has a complete range of specialty filters to handle anything.

TyentTM

Not Needed. And they offer a reasonable choice in external specialty filters.

Filtration Gimmicks?

Alkaviva

NONE. Just credible, verifiable testing, with clear protocols, showing high reductions of even the toughest things like arsenic, cadmium etc.

TyentTM

.01M FILTER. This filter only removes microbes (killed by chlorine) in treated water. Useful for wells, but does NOT reduce broad-based contaminants.

Power: too much of a good thing is bad!

Inefficient large plates require higher power. High power creates more heat and stresses the plating, shortening lifespan.

Regular cleaning of the cell greatly reduces risk of damage and scaling.

Most models clean regularly in the background as you use, but others do not. The cell is the most expensive and critical part of an ionizer.
